Keep in mind this is from an FSU board. Not sure of the viability of the legal argument.
Mars tweeted on Friday that the ACC Grant of Rights does not contain a “choice of law” provision, which would theoretically allow Florida law to apply to a dispute over Florida State. A “choice of law” provision would normally spell out the jurisdiction for legal disputes and which state laws governing a contract among multiple parties in different jurisdictions — they’re a fairly common provision.
Without that governing provision, the Florida state legislature could get involved in a matter before the Florida courts and shield the school from liability.
